I'm confused by all the Newton 6 information. Does the Newton 6 device actually use a newer firmware version beyond FW5.x? Or is Newton 6 essentially running 5.x with an upgraded shell & wind port?
I recently picked up a used Newton 4, and will be upgrading the firmware soon, once I verify everything is working. Just curious why the firmware upgrade option is to FW5.0 instead of 6.0 (hence the above question).
Is 5.0 still the most current Newton FW version?
Re: Is 5.0 still the most current Newton FW version?
Newton 5 was introduced a in 2014, and featured the Newton 5.x firmware (prior versions of FW were Newton 4). So, the Newton 5 upgrade is for older Newtons running firmware older than 5.x
Newton 6 was introduced in 2015, and incorporated a significant change to the exterior case.
You're correct that Newton 6 models use Newton 5 firmware.

Thanks, that clears it up.
